Catching up.......

Right now I feel like Catching up is my middle name! I need to catch up on work, cleaning house, party planning, mail, embroidery orders, picture editing, blogging.......the list could go on and on. I just realized I haven't updated the blog since September 11th, when Parker got her hair cut. I am going to attempt to catch up the blog tonight, I have so many great pictures and stories. Lets see how far I get.......

We got our family pictures taken by a photographer at the beginning of September.  It was the first time we have had family pictures taken in a LONG TIME.  The photographer came to our house and took pictures of us for over two hours. The kids (and Kyle) were great sports.  I was very happy with the way they turned out.

Kegan is doing very well in kindergarten.  We are so proud of him!  He is learning so much. I continue to be impressed everyday  by how much he is learning and how quickly he is learning it. ( I am a teacher with a primary background.....it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to academics)
The other day he said, "mom is the Easter Bunny a boy or a girl?" I said, " I am not sure, Kegan."  He replied, "you are a teacher, you should know!"

Kegan's class had been learning about Johnny Appleseed.  The teacher asked them to dress up as Johnny Appleseed at the end of the week.  He was the BEST DRESSED Johnny Appleseed!

Kegan played TBall on team River Dogs. He has had a great time this season!

Parker is as sweet & sassy, as always. I love every second of it!!

She was invited to a birthday party and the theme was  Fancy Nancy Tea Party! It was so cute!

 She is also learning a lot at school but she is learning just as much from her brother!

She is playing soccer on team Tigers.  The first couple of games didn't go to so well. She was terrified of the indoor soccer facility. Now you would never know it, she gets out there and runs with all her teammates.

Kyle threw me an surprise party for my 30th birthday! He did a great job and I was truly surprised! Surprisingly, I don't have any pictures from the fun night except for this one. I love this picture! Parker is just like me....she just LOVES babies. She is always asking strangers if she can hold their baby. (they typically don't let her hold them..imagine that, a three year old holding their baby??) Parker was so excited that Marci let her hold baby Zoee by herself!  (Zoee looks TERRIFIED) 

My brother and his wife had their first child, Burke,  October 20!  Kegan and Parker are so excited to finally have a REAL first cousin!  We can't wait to meet Baby Burke! Check out my brother's blog for more pics and stories ! I had no idea my brother was such an amazing writer! http://burkesterburkingtonburkenstock.blogspot.com/

 

Pumpkin Patch and Halloween pics will be posted tomorrow!
